yelp and yawp if "A minister says any
thing on the prohibition side, but if
they can quote favorable word from

comes a saint, while the preacher on
the prohibition side are trying to
unite church and state"

There is considerable excitement in
many of the river counties in North
Alabama over the boom in ore lands
Last week valuable ores were found
near Guntersville, which has been
followed by other discoveries. An
agent of big syndicate appeared
there day or two ago and has bought
10000 or $4,000 acres of the land,
paying large prices for it. The peo-
pie are wild with the speculative fe-
yer, and many who were poor last
week are now wealthy.

A WHOLESALE ROBBERY.
Two Negroes BurgIarize the House
Of the Section Foreman at
Fearn's Switch.
Traced to the CItyThey are Captur-
ed After Stout Resistance by
Officers BIakemore T. O'Rieiiy.

Last Tuesday nightWest Bernard Sec
ton foreman on the M. & G. r r. resid-
ing at Fearn's Switch, discovered that his
house had been entered during the alb
sence of its occupants, and Sl2o in cash
and a silver watch taken therefrom.
His s,lspicions at once fell upon a
couple OF negroes whom he had noticed
around the place, and he Immediately
set out upon their track. He traced
them to the city, and learned that the
last place they had been seen was at
Mitchells saloon corner of Holmes and
Jefferson SITS. Here he lost sight OF them,
but he Immediately notified the Chief of
Police, and Mr.. Davis at once set his men
to work up the case. During the night
they had heard of the presence of the
burglars in various parts OF the city, but
failed to locate and capture them.
Wednesday morning the City Marshall
and the day police kept following up the
clue, and it was not long until the
mounted officer and his brawny pard To-
Gated their men at the house OF a olored
woman named Pat Henry, who lives on
the outskirts of the city.
Both men resisted arrest, one Of them
drawing knife on the officers, compell-
ing the latter to draw their pistols. The
ominous click. click, of the hammers Of
the weapons, and the determined looks
of the police caused the burglars to quail
and weaken. They surrendered with i'll
grace and were lodged in Jail.
A reporter called at the Jail and learn
ed that the names of the prisoners were
Robert Lewis and Jackson Dean.
On being searched by the officers no
money was found but they had the
watch which is easier to identity than
money possibly Guild be.
Robert Levison and Jackson Dean, the
two men charged with entering the
house OF West Bernard, section foreman
at Fearn's Switch, had a,ipreliminary ex-
animation before Hon. ThOs. j. Taylor,
Judge OF Probate, Thursday morning
The evidence was sufficient to convince
the Judge that the parties before him
we're guilty OF the burglary OF which
they stood accused, and he bound them
over each in the sum of 5000, to appear
at the next term OF Circuit Court and an.
swer the charge. The bail not being
forthcoming the accused were remandet
! TO Jail.

SAD DEATH.

On Sunday afternoon between the
hours of five and six o'clock, gloom Of
sadness was cast DER the city as the news
spread of the suddenly fatal accident
which had befallen Mr.. HeLry F. Hall
sey, the veteran carriage builder. The
painful particulars, as we have gathered
them from eye witnesses are as follows:
Mr.. Halsey was coming to the city in
his buggy. accompanied by Zeb Joiner, a
young colored man: and on reaching the
railroad crossing on Meridian Street, the
occupants ofthe buggy saw freight train
approaching, and Joiner whipped up the
horse in order to get over the crossing
and out Of danger quickly.
AS soon as the front buggy wheels
struck the rails on the crossing, one OF
them broke, and Young Joiner was
thrown from the buggy by the shock.
He still managed to hold on to the lines
however, but could not check the speed
OF the horse. Then the rear or hind
wheel broke, throwing Mr.. Halsey to
the ground, and the rear axle dragged
him feet foremost, for considerable
distance, dislocating his shoulder and
neck, and breaking many OF his ribs.
His head and face was shocking
sight, being reduced to an unrecogniz-
able mass OF bleeding pulp. In less than
three minutes after the accident hap:
pened, DR.. S. II. Lowry was on the
scene, but his patient was beyond the
reach Of all earthly medical or surgical
skill. When the medical gentleman
reached himthe heart had.ceased to beat
Mr.. Halsey was scion OF that ehlval
rous Virginia stock who were the ear
" settlers OF Huntsville. He was borI
in this county, so Squire Wilson informs
rs. and at the time OF his death. he wa
I 4 years old.
